They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that ma
ture has aremedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found-.-
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acct
dent. Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a COM
paratively Re,r disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. 1t IS a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and it was left
for the clear-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal cOmpG-
cation lies chiefly in the disord-
cred and depraved functions Of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-"If we can m
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out OF the
body the poisonous waste mat
tiers which remain after thelife-
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys-
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
lon. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
In this. To leave no ground
for doubt they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced In
curable-vith perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Elk
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri-
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filed
to Overlooking, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache; duh pain at the base
of the brain; bad breath; maui
seous quotations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat; a sense of Cypress
ion and faiutness at the pit of
the stomach; fatulence; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weak from the need oft; sticky
or Shiny matter on the teeth or

inc in the morning; fuITed and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet; constipation;
dry or rough skin; inability to
fix the mind on any labor call

and oppressive and sad fore
holdings and fears.
All this terrible group
Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup removes by its pos
tive, powerful, direct yet
painless and gentle action upon
the functions Of digestion and
assimilation. Those elements
of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
